Lack of structure in myprogramme really showed up today.

After work ran to the my wifes workplace to pick up EJ.
Did 6miles @ 6.30pace and 1hour walk home with the buggy

thirstywork2 · 02-10-2012 10:34pm

Ran 10minutes and felt like crap so walked home.Feel run down and lack of sleep not helping.

thirstywork2 · 03-10-2012 11:22pm

14miles today broken into two runs.

T runner · 04-10-2012 10:39am

I know where youre coming from with the lack of sleep etc. Maybe, you should look at this period as building your defenses against injury as your primary goal. Youre building fitness sure, but a focus on building your defences will keep it controlled and stem any frustration on days where its hard to get the running in. If you achieve that goal then this will be an extremely valuable and worthwhile phase of training indeed.

thirstywork2 · 04-10-2012 9:25pm

Funny you should say that as a guy in work said the same today.
If I can get from now till the start of December doing easy running and less mileage I will be happy.
Going to focus on the John Treacy 10miler 2 days before my birthday.

Ran 30mins am and 10mins pm today.

thirstywork2 · 05-10-2012 8:46pm

1mile run from parents home to work 9.30am

4mile run home after work,quick strecth and drink.
10mile in the park,bumped into heffsarmy and ran a little more than I should.
This will be my long run instead on Monday and knocks any ideas of jumping into the 3/4 marathon in Athlone.

Same thing happens to the 3hr paced group in DCM. One minute there is a group of 150 odd runners next minute it's like a bomb has gone off and there are less than 5 of them beside you.

Funniest moment of last years marathon was seeing you coming around the corner onto the final last 200m. You stop, look behind you, nobody there. A few seconds pass as you jog on the spot, then 3 or 4 of the most beat up, dead on their feet, zombies come falling around that bend looking like death warmed up. Man I have never seen a group of lads in such a state. Fair play to them though, they hit their target.

They weren't in the group, they were lads who were ahead of us the whole way until mile 25. They blew up on their own. I don't get running with pace groups, some miles I run a little faster than the average pace, some miles I run a little slower. I match my own needs and how I'm feeling. Running to somebody elses pace is tiring!

thirstywork2 · 10-10-2012 8:33pm

it's a strange feeling as I felt I did a great job and yet knowone around me except one guy.
30mins pm today,legs feeling really good again but massage needed.
Nice run in Tallaght btw,you seem to be getting back into your old shape

Good comeback lol

thirstywork2 · 12-10-2012 5:20am

40min run yesterday,was bouncing along and felt great.Went back to the parents house and decided if my little one was awake id leave it at 40mins(she was awake)
Starting to really enjoy my running again and not going ot get caught up in racing when 50% fit.Next time I race hopefully a pb

thirstywork2 · 13-10-2012 9:07pm

Been a struggle this week,not with motivation but feeling crap and bunged up with a head cold/sore throat and Sore tooth.

Made sure I kept my runs short during the week.The weekend with more rest time I planned on hitting longer runs.
yesterday was easy 35mins and today I headed out with Eoin and bumped into Tomo.ended up with just over 11miles.
Tommorow the plan is phoenix park if I can get a lift as im up in Tallaght.

Woddle · 13-10-2012 10:00pm
